Posts Tagged ‘maybe NSFW’

Okay this post was inspired by an interview with Karen Berger, in which she mentioned that Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon are Brazilian and identical twins, and my brain went straight to “I must find a picture of them!” And I did, and they are very cute. And it occurred to me that it would be fun to make a post of the most sexy comics creators. I decided to limit it to males, just because I find objectifying men far more amusing and novel, than doing the same to women. Especially when it comes to the comics industry. So keeping in mind that “sexy” is very subjective, I thought I would list the ones I think are the most physically attractive, and then open the floor to you guys to list your own.

Disclaimer: All of these guys are infinitely talented, and are worthy of admiration regardless of their appearance. And frankly comics creator is a title that is just sort of inherently sexy to me. But I’m being superficial today, so this post’s deepness level is skin.

First up the aforementioned twins Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon.

Look at them! They are such cute little hipster boys! This could be an indie label album cover. Oh and their credits include doing the writing and art for Umbrella Academy, and Daytrippers, among others.

Keeping with the theme of up and coming brother teams, Jonathan and Joshua Luna.

How hot are they? Points for being able to work the camera. They are responsible for the Sword, Girls, and Ultra.

How about David Mack?

I’ve met him twice at conventions, and was utterly charmed by him both times. He totally recognized me the second time, even though two years had passed, and our first encounter had to be pretty similar to hundreds he had had with fans at conventions. (I’m not implying anything here. I just mean that I walked up to his table. Told him his art was cool, and that I liked it.) During that first meeting, I had not read any Kabuki though I had heard of it, and had really liked his Daredevil work. He was incredibly gracious, and gave me the first trade and the, at that time, most recent hardcover collection for half price, and just flat out gave both me and my sister all the uncollected issues for free, as well as two limited prints of his Kabuki work, also for free. And he signed it all! It was just such a classy move, that of course the next time we saw him at a convention we bought every new item he had for sale, and we had already bought all the intervening Kabuki volumes. (By the way Kabuki is amazing!) Anyway that might have bought him a place on this list, but it was unnecessary because he is undeniably cute.

And this is the only other person on this list that I have spoken to, Neil Gaiman.

Me: Thank you! (he smiles pleasantly, before turning to the next blushing, stammering person in line.)

Imagine how many times that has happened to him. He probably has the highest ratio of swooning to nonswooning fans in comicdom. It could be because he is a super-genius-writer-guy, or that he is quite nice to look at, but I blame the voice. He has the best story reading voice ever. Just listen to one of his self narrated audiobooks for the proof.

Next we have Read Comics favorite Brian K. Vaughan.

Got to like a guy who can work a shaved head, raised eyebrow combo. He is the writer behind Y: the Last Man, Runaways, and Ex Machina.

As I was compiling this list I was lamenting the fact that none of these guys had any calendar worthy beefcake photos that I could put up. You would think they didn’t take their sex symbol status seriously. (That was a whole lot of unplanned alliteration, sorry.)

But thank god for Grant Morrison! Always planning ahead. Here is a young Grant (almost demurely compared to later shots) showing off his bum in tight white pants.

Warning next pic may be NOT SAFE for WORK! For real, I am not kidding. Don’t let your boss catch you looking. In fact I’m going to hide it under the jump.
